Finding our origins in extraterrestrial rocks
Initial results from Hayabusa 2’s trip to the asteroid Ryugu!
Three roads diverge in a galaxy’s future, and the chosen one is almost entirely random!
Today’s paper uses simulations to understand how the Milky Way’s stellar halo formed, and also asks: what determines the evolutionary pathway taken by a galaxy over cosmic time?
A Moist Exoplanet in the Neptune Desert
Water vapor detection of exoplanet atmospheres has been a hot topic. This scientific question is included in the first set of results published by JWST. But it’s even more difficult to detect the presence of water vapor on exoplanets in the Neptune desert. This year, researchers detected water vapor on TOI-674 b for the first time by analyzing atmospheric transmission spectrum. It’s very exciting. This discovery provides an important target for subsequent detection with higher precision by JWST.
Sub-Neptune Atmosphere Origin: A tale of Magma and Atmosphere
Today’s paper examines the reaction between atmosphere and magma in exoplanets, a key factor in shaping an exoplanet atmosphere
